so, looks like loop flanges are the style of choice. i'll have to make the holes slightly oval to allow for an angle fitup though.

i'll put an order in for some on monday.

loop flanges = more material = more weight = slower car = baby Jesus crying

----, Aaron, if you'd had some loop flanges in stock I might have sold my Jimfab in order to pick up your DIY bits and make my own. The Jimfab is a nice unit, but it has no provisions for radiator mounting (why I wanted the tow hook flanges) and it sucks *** at downpipe clearance.

Are you going to make the flanges for the tow hook area?

I think I'll buy some from you to make my traction bar. The only thing I'm not sure of is the exact placement of the tabs. It's a geometry thing, and I only gradumatated Math 2.
When I was selling the L-con bars, he showed me a collapsable rod that he used to make the bars. He placed the tabs at different places until he could move the wheel up/down until the rod produced no extension/retraction, and that's how he knew the correct spot for the tabs.

If someone could explain this for me, although it might not make a world of difference, I could more confidently make my bars. I voted sandwich, but whatever you make, I want mine in mild and holla at a ***** when dey done.
